To Die For - Axel/Roxas Fan Soundtrack 4

TO DIE FOR
Axel/Roxas Fan Soundtrack 4

01. David Kitay - Theme from Ghost World
02. Sia - Breathe Me
03. Regina Spektor - Samson
04. Sufjan Stevens - Holland
05. Laura Veirs - Magnetized
06. Foo Fighters - Everlong
07. Jem - Maybe I'm Amazed
08. Avril Lavigne - Tomorrow
09. Aqualung - Pressure Suit
10. Laura Veirs - Where Gravity is Dead
11. The Polyphonic Spree - Overblow Your Nest
12. Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
13. The Birthday Massacre - To Die For

So. This is it.

I really do love this mix.

...I dont really have a summary, except to say that Cherry Bomb was meant to follow this one, and I still highly recommend downloading it if you havent already, considering it might be needed to counteract the massive amounts of emo on this mix.

...Have I mentioned how much I love this mix? Cuz I do.

The only real commentary I have for this album is that the entire process was done backwards. I actually burned the cd for myself a few weeks ago, then finally got around to putting together the accompanying text, and then came the liner notes. Not to mention 4 1/2 came out before 4. XD; Ah, well.

Ah, and then there's the title -- it was a happy coincidence that the 4th fst landed "To Die For" as its title track, but I found it quite appropriate considering the similarities between 四 and 死.

Please enjoy. ♥


01. David Kitay - Theme from Ghost World
If you've seen the movie or read the comic, you'll know why I chose this song. Instrumental; Roxas.

You know what my number one fantasy used to be?
I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone and going off to some random place.
And I'd just... disappear. And they'd never see me again.


02. Sia - Breathe Me
I first heard this song from a gorgeous video for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, another movie that reminds me a lot of Axel and Roxas. ...It reminds me a lot of Roxas standing alone in the Usual Spot, on the last day.

Ouch
I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me


03. Regina Spektor - Samson
Axel, of Roxas.

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
"I have to go, I have to go"
Your hair was long when we first met


Samson went back to bed, not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
We couldnt bring the columns down
We couldnt destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didnt mention us, not even once


04. Sufjan Stevens - Holland
I dont know what it is about this song... the sleepy, dreamy imagery of summer.

All the time we spent in bed
Counting miles before we set
Fall in love and fall apart
Things will end before they start

Sleeping on Lake Michigan
Factories and marching bands
Lose our clothes in summer time
Lose ourselves to lose our minds
In the summer heat, I might


05. Laura Veirs - Magnetized
The imagery in this song just breaks my heart. Roxas, of Axel.

Slain by your zirconium smile
I was slain by your olivine eyes
Slain, I was lying in piles
hoping shovels would cast me
Furnaces burn everlasting black tattoos of you onto me
Furnaces burn everlasting black tattoos

Burn, brand my memory
black, a tattoo of you
Wash me with your mouth
brackish bright water from your eyes
I'll homing pigeon fly to hover by your window white and shy
Homing pigeon fly to hover by

Spill my ashes to the wind
Ghosts can gather what they've found
Now we can struggle in the web
We can struggle
With white spider stars coming down
and night blowing black from the ground
With white spider stars coming down
and night blowing black from the ground


06. Foo Fighters - Everlong
...This is pretty much my definitive Axel/Roxas song. It's also the song we're planning on naming our Axel/Roxas shrine after.

Hello
I've waited here for you everlong
Tonight I throw myself into
and out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

Breathe out so I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now I know you've always been
out of your head, out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you've got to promise not to stop when I say when


07. Jem - Maybe I'm Amazed
I think I first heard this song from a Tales fst by deviator. I was able to track down the full-length version. ...This is about as optimistic as this album gets. Roxas.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time, hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song, right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you


08. Avril Lavigne - Tomorrow
...Roxas. Optimism never seems to last long with that one.

And I want to believe you when you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah, I try to believe you
...But I dont

When you say that it's gonna be, it always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today

I dont know how I'll feel tomorrow, tomorrow
I dont know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day

It's always been up to you
It's turning around, it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
...Just dont
Give me a little time, leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late
Not today

And I know I'm not ready
Maybe tomorrow


09. Aqualung - Pressure Suit
...This is probably my favorite song on this album. Ganked from bigbigtruck. Axel, trying to save Roxas, and it all falls apart. The almost-hopeful desperation in this song really gets me. :<

Two spinning spheres, two spinning spheres in a bed of stars
Silence is super, staring into space I wonder where you are

You're all that I've ever needed
I know that you wont feel it

Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright, it's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, it's alright


Violently clear, the upper atmosphere raging at your heart
Somewhere far beneath your pointed tongue and teeth is where you really are

Dont want to be forgiven
but drag you down from heaven

Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright, it's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your parachute
It's alright, it's alright


I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, it's alright

I will not let you go


Two spinning spheres, they spin together
I'ma spin alone

I dont know how I can do this
I dont know how to get through
It's alright, it's alright

I cant stop loving you
I cant stop loving you
It's alright, it's alright


I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, it's alright

I'll be your four leaf clover
I'll be your pressure suit
I'll be your angel wings
I'll be your parachute

I cant stop loving you
I cant stop loving you
I cant stop loving you
I cant stop loving you


10. Laura Veirs - Where Gravity is Dead
Like the last, but much more defeated. God, this song is gorgeous. Roxas.

Where gravity is dead and the airplanes fly around
Above the roaming bees and the buzzing town
Above the tattered flags and the rotten show posters
Above the clubs and microphones, above the jealous mouths

That's where you've found yourself, riding into the sun on a raft made for one

Red painted radio towers sing you songs
Not, not that something's wrong, you've got it in your head
But doesnt it get lonely riding up there to the sun on a single raft for one
Dont you wish for someone to pull you on a string down from atmospheres
down into a clearing to kiss and box your ears


11. The Polyphonic Spree - Overblow Your Nest
...This song is so depressing. ;_; Roxas, like burning. The end of summer vacation.

Complicated heart of mine
With wings of love, nowhere to fly
Peculiar pattern is setting in
The sun is coming back again

One day soon, you make a mess
The world comes down and overblows your nest
and goes

The summer clouds, they made us proud
The clock extends, we live without
The ringing slumber of forgotten years
The angels sing when the end is near

One day soon, you make a mess
The world comes down and takes you to your nest
and it goes

Maybe you and me are hoping for anything
We want this world to know that we're alive
Someday you're reaching out for all the times you lived without
without the dreams you have down deep inside
Cuz one day soon, the world comes down and says goodbye


12. Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Oh, Axel. ♥ I love the imagery in this, since there really is no heaven or hell for nobodies.

Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisifed
Illuminate the nos on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
then I'll follow you into the dark


13. The Birthday Massacre - To Die For
...This was a song rec from dreamsincyanide. And I still cant get over how incredibly perfect this song is. Axel, to Roxas. There's a reason this is the title track. ♥

Tighten your tie, boy, you're something to die for
But dont hold your breath now, you're just killing time
Tonight you can dream, boy; imagine a whisper
If you can keep secrets, then I'll tell you mine

Remember a promise you couldnt hold on to
Though it brings me to tears now, I need you to know
Look in my eyes, boy, nothing like yours now
It seems that a lifetime is passing us by

...So open your eyes


This is forever but it wont last long
This is a memory that fades away in neverending
And in the death of all that's long been said and done before
we'll wish that we were something more


Stop wasting time, boy
You're late all your life, boy
They wont have the patience for someone like you
Your memory's fading
I'll love you forever
I'll try to remember, I'll try to hold on

You're standing alone, boy
Waiting for dreams, boy
Waiting for something to make them come true
Dont ever leave, boy
I'd miss you too much, boy
I'll never forget you as long as I'm here
